EXTINCTION REBELLION targeted Barclays branches across the country today in a series of actions that saw activists smash windows and spray fake oil over the banks. 

The climate group said that it had targeted over 100 branches of the banking giant in protest at Barclays investing in fossil fuel firms and projects. 

Police in Glasgow made two arrests after activists cracked windows at the bank’s multimillion-pound offices in the Scottish city.
